'There he is!" Attorney General David T. Wllentz requested the grey-bearded man to step down and place his hand upon Hnuptmann's shoulder. Edward J. Reilly, defense counsel, objected, and before the point could be argued, Hochmuth declared: "He's the man between the state trooper and the man In a white shirt."
